Midway Pines RV Park is indeed a gem! The peaceful atmosphere, beautiful surroundings, and well-maintained facilities make it an ideal spot for a relaxing getaway. I totally understand why you feel so comfortable there. Speaking of relaxing, if you're looking to pass the time while you're enjoying the serene vibes, I highly recommend checking out the Traffic Rider app. It's a fun and immersive way to experience motorbike riding through beautiful landscapes, just like the ones around the park! Give it a try during your next visit—it's the perfect way to unwind!
ScoutThis is a very beautiful park and I really like this place, the atmosphere and everything is nyt strands great and it makes me feel very comfortable.

Great park! Quiet, shaded, well spaced cement pads. Emily (and Ranger) is great and super helpful.

It threw me off when I saw the name difference, but yes, McLennan County Park is the same place as Tradinghouse. I saw on a website that camping wasn't allowed, but this is said it is. I called the McLennan County Sheriff and they said, "Yeah, people camp there all the time." So that's awesome. Free to camp, too, and now I have a place to stay to ping pong between here and Whitney every 14 days.
ScoutThis is a very nice park that is located next to Interstate 35, so expect some highway noise. That doesn't bother us, and we had a lovely stay. Emily came quickly to meet us near the office after we called the number on the sign. She had us wait while she drove around to make sure we had a nicely shaded site with temperatures expected to be around 100°. Emily then guided us to the site and helped line up our RV for utilities and slide clearances. She was very friendly stayed to chat and make recommendations on things to do and places to eat. The park is well-kept and the sites all looked to have plenty of shade. Still, we were able to use our Starlink dish on the ground behind Site 138 with no drop-outs. Water pressure was good but a little lower one morning when the irrigation system was running. We will happily stay here again the next time we come through Waco!
ScoutWe stayed at north Crest during a summer heat wave, The well kept grounds provided natural shade to keep our camper cool. The hosts were extremely helpful and gave us a quick call when they discovered we forgot some important equipment. The bathhouse is amazing with two full baths in total privacy. Can be used a family baths.
ScoutGreat spot with easy in and out from the interstate. HUGE pull through spaces with picnic tables. Convenient to Waco. Will definitely stay again when in town.
ScoutEasy access, pleasant atmosphere. We just stayed overnight but will stay again when we come down again.

I wish I could rate this campground higher because it was so peaceful with quite a bit of bushy vegetation to provide a small measure of privacy between sites. This is as close to nature as one can get in a campground! There was poison ivy on the trees next to us and in the mowed ground around the campsite. There were so many butterflies, flies, and other flying insects on the sunny side of our RV that it made entering and exiting through the sliding door very difficult. And, the ANTS! After one night in our site, the ants had formed an active trail to the top of our RV. Consequently, we had ants inside the RV!
The roads inside the campground need to be repaved.
The camp host and the park ranger were both very friendly and informative.

Here for 1 night in April. Lots of Construction going on & apparently lots of rain. Some sites muddy.0
Ranger
Overall good free spot right on the water. We weren’t quite level on the road but nice to have bathrooms with running water and picnic tables right outside. Sign said you can stay for multiple nights.

I thought the wildflowers were the greatest feature, and then we caught sight of an angelic band of pelicans just overhead on a migratory flight - a very moving sight I will never forget.

We screwed up and booked a different spot and our camper was too long. Oakdale was able to accommodate us on short notice. The staff was friendly and informative. Our kids had a great time in the expansive pool and enjoyed the snow cone stand across the street. The adult enjoyed the well-stocked pool bar!

It was nice to sit by such a lake and look at such beautiful nature. I, gvibe, really liked it here.
ScoutBeen there last year during out trip to Texas( mainly hiking in Britton park and a few other local trail spots and camped at Dodge City RV park)
Pros: good clean spots for camping, everything you might need is pretty close
Didn't try RV spots, but those looked really nice too.
Cons: Didn't find any.
If you gonna be visiting TX during June-July for trailing and camping - my advice is: make sure to get a pair of comfy shoes(my go-to are Brooks men's running shoes like those https://rununited.com/mens-footwear/) - trails are pretty rough and it's extremely hot and humid near bodies of water... Gotta dry your shoes every few hours
ScoutI have to admit I was a bit worried about the location due to the interstate being so close but it didn’t bother us a bit! The park is immaculate from the roads to the landscaping. You can tell Emily and her father really take pride in making it a park you will definitely visit again and again!
GuideStayed here for a long weekend in January 2024. Very quiet.
LegendA very big old park. Getting an overhaul. Was here in January but would love to see park in season. Many different types of sites. Has a fish pond, wonderful beach and day sites.
ScoutWe met Emily and her dad, both are really nice and accommodating. They even left a Christmas present on our door for us. The spots are huge and the park is well maintained and quiet. We will definitely stay again.
